Driving for Uber allows for a flexible schedule due to there always being work available, whether one wishes to drive full or part time. 

A driver from Florida shares how driving for Uber is beneficial for him since he only needs part-time work.

"I mostly drive Thurs[day] and Fri[day]," Ken Howe told Florida Business Daily. "The rest of the week I am working in my church. I work because I need some money, but I don't need a full-time job right now," the Uber worker said. "Although, the taxes I expect and inflation will likely change that."

Uber provides services in 10,000 cities in 71 countries and had 101 million active monthly platform users as of June 2021. 

"As the pandemic took hold, the world came to a screeching halt and in just a few days, we went from connecting over 16 million trips a day to urging our riders to stay home," Uber said in a press release. "We committed to move only what mattered most: getting first responders to work, and getting food to those who needed it. And as everyone stayed home to stay safe, we found meaningful ways to use the Uber app."

Within three years since 2015, the number of people using ride-hailing apps like Uber has more than doubled, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

In the "Freelancing in America: 2019" survey of 6,000 U.S. workers, 79% of full-time and 76% of part-time freelance workers joined the flexible workforce environment because they are able to work days and hours of their choosing.
